  • Cheap attack drones break through Israel's Iron Dome

  • I’m convinced we are in WWIII

    I've heard people speculate that it's more like WW5 or 6, depending on how you want to count global conflicts between superpowers.

    But from the US perspective, we're a far cry from the kind of Total War we engaged in during the 40s.

    This war only feels existential if you're on the receiving end.

  • Rheinmetall platforms with airburst ammunition

    There's a reason you might not want to be firing shrapnel explosives over the heads of your own citizens.

    But hey, it's Israel. Maybe they don't give a shit.

  • Cheap attack drones break through Israel's Iron Dome

    Jump

  • what does it cost to maintain the iron dome when your batteries are depleted and the missiles are on backorder?

    Iron Dome is specifically for short range rockets and mortars. David’s Sling is intended to defend against ballistic missiles like those used by Iran. The Arrow System is intended to counter ICBMs as part of a constellation of US based anti-ballistic systems. I'm not sure that last one has been used in more than test shots

  • ‘There is profound disappointment in him’: mood in Russia turns against Putin

    Jump

  • This is like the articles that talk about trumps base turning on him. No they’re not

    We get the "Putin about to be toppled from within" article every couple of months going back 20 years. It's just a thing Western Media likes to print.

  • Google CEO Sundar Pichai says graduates booing AI will shape its future — and live with its consequences

    Jump

  • how could he think people would actually buy this argument?

    When you surround yourself with YesMen and hype beast sales guys, how can you not.

  • Google CEO Sundar Pichai says graduates booing AI will shape its future — and live with its consequences

    Jump

  • Why do these colleges keep inviting these chucklefucks to speak to the various student bodies that clearly hate them?

    Because the universities are, themselves, riddled with patronage and graft. The privatization of the University systems has turned a lot of these schools into mere extensions of this or that corporate campus. And so the CEOs treat the student body like interns.

  • 1 poorly documented example

    Looks like you didn't read the article

  • Italy Ditches Boeing and Buys Airbus in swing toward European Defence

    Jump

  • Can Boeing still even make KC-46s anymore? A bunch of their planes are on comedic levels of backorder because they can't deliver anything.

  • Zuck defends monitoring employees to win AI race in purported leaked audio

    Jump

  • data poisoning from maliciously compliant employees

    Even if everyone cooperated faithfully and diligently fully in on the plan of being rendered redundant in a few years, what do they even have?

    Just the generic motions of work. As soon as your business model shifts, or some interface changes, or you run into a problem that you haven't seen before...

    They're cannibalizing themselves. That's the only way you can describe it. An organization that's hollowing itself out with management aware it won't last (or delusional enough to believe reality will never catch up with them).

    If they're doing this with their infrastructure, how much does anyone want to bet they're playing fast and loose with their budgets and accounting as well?

    This all screams Enron/Worldcomm waiting to happen.

  • What the actual hell happened to Labour?

    The Party bureaucrats turned on Jeremy Corbyn like lupus.

  • drones ruin all the fun for US

    Jump

  • I think there is probably reason for concern that asymmetrical warfare can be performed

    I would be far less worried about Americans living in the Gulf Coast and far more worried about Cubans subject to US Total War on the island

  • drones ruin all the fun for US

    Jump

  • Idk. What were the domestic consequences of our Contra War in Nicaragua?

  • drones ruin all the fun for US

    Jump

  • Probably. Another case of lobbing a $500k artillery round at a guy who makes $200/mo.

  • off-shoring your economy to a political rival

    If you offshore your economy, what prevents the recipient from becoming a rival?

    We've offshored to all the BRICS countries and they've all become our rivals was a result
